The Sixers’ homestand started the worst possible way — and we had to talk about it.

Back-to-back losses to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Game 1? A straight-up blowout.

Game 2? 43 minutes of great basketball… followed by a complete meltdown when it mattered most.

Now 22–18, sitting 7th in the East, this team continues to find new ways to frustrate the hell out of its fans.

In this 18-minute rant episode, Sanoj and I break down:

How the Sixers got embarrassed in Game 1

Why the Game 2 collapse might be even worse

The late-game execution issues that just won’t go away

Coaching decisions, player accountability, and mental toughness

Whether this team is actually built to survive playoff basketball

This wasn’t a measured, polite conversation.

This was raw, heated, and honest — because at some point, excuses stop working.

If you’re watching this team every night and screaming at your TV…

Yeah. This episode’s for you.

This week on Ring The Damn Bell, John and Sanoj break down another classic Sixers rollercoaster — thrilling wins, brutal losses, and one big question looming over everything:

👉 Is Joel Embiid actually BACK?

We recap a gritty road trip win in Orlando, a heartbreaking overtime loss to Toronto, and a red-hot shooting night that reminded everyone just how dangerous this team can be when things click. The Big Three is cooking… but with VJ Edgecombe emerging in clutch moments, are we really looking at a Big Four now?

John also shares a first-hand story from the Kia Center — including sitting right behind Andre Drummond’s family — plus we dive into:

• Embiid’s return to bully-ball dominance
• Tyrese Maxey continuing to shine as the engine
• Paul George’s impact beyond the box score
• Late-game execution issues and the Sixers’ identity crisis
• Upcoming matchups vs Cleveland, Phoenix, and Houston
• Trade deadline rumors (Drummond, Jay Huff, and salary shedding)
• Why the East might be wide open if this team stays healthy

It’s honest Sixers talk — hype, heartbreak, optimism, frustration — all in one place.

Episode 4 is here!

This week, Sanoj and John are joined by longtime friend, Atlantic City ambassador, and all-around legend AC Mike Lopez. And trust us… after the week the Sixers just gave us, we needed him.

We break down a true rollercoaster of games:

• Pistons 114 – Sixers 105:

A tough loss with Maxey doing everything he could without Embiid.

• Sixers 110 – Clippers 108:

A wild comeback win, Harden drama, and Paul George’s return.

• Raptors 121 – Sixers 112:

A disappointing loss—but hey, John and AC Mike were courtside at the scorer’s table, so the experience was 🔥 even if the final score wasn’t.

We dive into all of it plus childhood stories from grade school and high school, AC Mike’s rise as an Atlantic City staple, and even a Tony Danza impression from Sanoj… inspired by Mike interviewing Danza on his radio show last week.

It’s a fun episode despite a rough Sixers stretch.
